appear beneath the Equalizer button on your RealPlayer. If it is off, a red light
will appear.
|
|
| ![]() | (Default is Off) Turns your Equalizer on and off. By engaging and disengaging the equalizer you can better adjust
the sound quality by listening to the difference between the two. Because of buffering you will not hear the effect you have had on the sound for up to 3 seconds.
Note: In some cases the equalizer will slow down your machine. Turning it off should return your computer to its normal speed. |

| Settings:
| A drop down box with the name of the slider settings. RealPlayer comes with a
number of precreated settings for your convenience which you can alter or add
to as you wish. Selecting any particular setting will cause the sliders to
adjust to the preconfigured positions.
|
|
| Save Settings As...
| Opens a Save As... dialog to save the current settings with a name for later
use. After it has been saved you can recall the setting any time using the drop
down list and selecting your new configuration.

| ![]() | The central sliders allow you to adjust specific frequency ranges (in this
example the 31 Hz range) to your own preferences as you would with a graphic equalizer.
Sliders also have Keyboard access, To activate sliders 1-10 (use ‘0’ for 10) use Alt+<nubmer> going left to right, then use up and down arrows to set individual levels | ![]() |
| Restore default levels
| If you find you don’t like your adjustments, clicking Reset will bring all of the sliders back to the zero, the central mark on each
slider.
|
|
| ![]() | By adjusting this slider, you alter the sound so that it appears to be coming
from a larger (to the right) or smaller room (to the left). Combine this effect
with Reverb (below) for a very personalized experience in sound.
|
|
| ![]() | Reverb is a measure of how much sound is reflected in a room. A very full room
has little reverberation while an empty room would reverberate, or echo, a
great deal. Adjusting the slider to the right will increase the echo. Combine the
Reverb effect with Room size (above) to alter the sound and feel of a
performance.
|
|
| Smart-EQ
| When selected (a check mark appears in the box), the Equalizer will select the
settings most likely to enhance the audio you are listening to. This option is
unavailable if your Equalizer is turned off.
|
|
| Auto-Gain
| Auto-Gain normalizes the sound so that all clips you play will have roughly the same volume
regardless of how they were recorded or how they are being broadcast.
|
|
| ![]() | Similar to the pre-amp on a stereo system, Pre-gain pumps up the power of the
signal coming in before you adjust with the Equalizer.
